After DmC, you guys want a DmC2 or a DMC5

DmC2, DMC5, or something different

I think DMC3, and the DMC1 game and novel would comprise the "Kamiya Canon," because were the only things that had input from him on the story and characters. Everything else is sort of a crapshoot.

I think the DMC3 manga was denied canon, because it contradicted certain things from DMC3 (like when Dante and Lady see each other and such), and the DMC4 novel is supposed to be taken as canon because...I dunno, it was written by the guy who wrote DMC4's scenario, it was cleared by Capcom, and it was the novelization of DMC4. But they still never outright stated Vergil was Nero's father, and really only strengthened a lot of hints about Nero being a descendant of Sparda.

wait this really does not solve much.

As I asked earlier, was the manga ever confirmed to be canon by Capcom themselves?

Otherwise there could be a likely chance he isn't even Nero's father.

The whole point you apparently where trying to make is that Capcom's DMC story is "beyond saving" and you used the Nero situation to further prove this.

I would like a confirmation from Capcom on whether Nero is his son.

Otherwise you will have to find another point to prove that DMC story can not be saved.

It was confirmed by a capcom worker but I dont have the link
 
It was "confirmed" by a member of the localization team, way back in 2009 or so, and posted on Capcom Unity's blog, I remember reading that myself when it was said there was not going to be a DMC5 in the foreseeable future. It was questionable though since no actual staff member other than Bingo has made any supporting claim, and there is a severe disjoint in Vergil's character for Nero to be his son, not to mention the timeline conflicts.

sorry but I'm the type that has to see evidence before I believe it.

So until you post a link confirming it I'm not going to buy into your notion that the original DMC series is "beyond saving" because of the whole Nero and Vergil deal.

http://www.capcom-unity.com/carbo/b..._devil_may_cry_news_no_new_game_unfortunately This is what I believe he's referring to. The reason it's questionable is because only Bingo and this unnamed localization member the the ones who say "Vergil is Nero's father", while Kobayashi's own comments on the ages and time line make this not possible. Also Bingo wrote the Deadly Fortune Novel after having left Capcom and doing so as a freelance. The novel contradicts a number of events and major plot points in the game. Also, Bingo was not the only scenario writer for DMC4, and that position does not mean he wrote the whole story of the game, he merely was part of a team of writers. The novel version is his ideas on what should have been done without the filtering of the other writers. in essence; officially published fanfic that present his AU of the game.

And of course, I want a DMC5. If Capcom would just improve the story, add a bit more to the gameplay as well. And as far as I'm concerned, the gameplay does not need to be changed at all. Seeing how most moves that exist in DMC are recycled animations from previous games. But Capcom can still add onto it.

I'm pretty critical guy in storytelling when it comes to Movies, Anime, Comics/Manga and Games. However, when things go like this, this makes me want to just play devil may cry just for the gameplay, awesome weapons and enemies just like how i forgotten to watch naruto's storytelling and only watching it for action. It's pretty sad considering despite the plot holes and plot traps and in devil may cry, i still find the story very interesting and how i like the characters.

And i don't really think anyone from capcom can improve the story of the old DMC. All i can see is them hiring another developer and i would prefer Mercury Steam for that. That's just me. I would rather be happy if Ninja theory would focused on it's own titles because seriously, Heavenly sword have potential to be a flagship or an AAA title.
 
DMC5 (and anything associated with it, like a classic!Sparda game) is probably never gonna happen. Yes, the story is salvageable (even taking DMC2 and 4 into account, it's all so vague and malleable that any half-decent script writer can fill in the holes). But I suspect Capcom was just doing damage control when they mentioned anything about DMC5 after investing in such a high-risk, high-reward "reimagining". Classic Dante and associated concepts will probably always be floating around Capcom proper and in various other games, but a full DMC5? Doubt it.

So, while I want DMC5 more than anything, since I'm unlikely to get it and I'm not a Time Lord who can go back and fix Capcom's mistakes, all I can realistically hope for is that, if DmC2's happens, it will take further gameplay, story, design, and character cues from the classic games and integrate them into its structure. We already have hints that this Dante will do a lot of growing up into an alternate version of DMC1's mature and heroic self. Maybe DmC2 will achieve what DMC2 and DMC4 failed to do as sequels: Continue Dante and Vergil's story without sidelining them for random people nobody really cares about. We'll see which way the wind is blowing next year.

And if DmC succeeds and if a second is made, DMC is going to be forgotten even more then what people are implying. (looks at TWO, Ridwaul, and some others in the forum).

I got better! ~holds up the large pizza and a six pack of tomato juice with a couple of Strawberry Sundaes~

...WHAT?! I'm gonn'a have myself a sundae too, ya' know!
 
Well, didn't Capcom already say they're already planning the sequel for 2015?

Should be true, a sequel is already a given, so regardless of what we want, it's still gonna happen. We can (and should) start losing hope for DMC5.

Still feels too early for me to ponder on the future of the rebooted franchise, though. We still need to see how well it makes its first step, and one hell of a step it will be, with the eyes of all the gamer base and media set on it.

The only mention of such things was that they wanted to ramp up production of installments in their running franchises like DMC, Lost Planet, and a few others. There's been no inclination about DmC2 or DMC5 one way or another.

Oh, then I probably intepretated that wrong. My bad.

Still, I'm with all those who aren't confident on DMC5 ever seeing light.
